Week 5 was all about the organization. I pretty much stopped writing this week and got my stuff in order. But don't worry, my very temporary detour of stopping on the sideline to attend to a few housekeeping items that hadn't been appropriately addressed is not going to get me off track. Actually, week 5 … Continue reading Structured Approach to Writing
There is a lot of negative atmospheric pressure stifling the positivity that so many of us seek to absorb like the vitamin D we get from the sun's rays. It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep an open mind, benefit-of-the-doubt, innocent until proven guilty perspective with so many people (such as governmental officials, high-profile figures in … Continue reading Wise Saying #1
Week 4 of my book was more on point than week 3. I gave myself week 4 as my last 7 days of unorganized chaos before getting into a definite writing rhythm and I totally needed every bit of this time frame to really create some personalized structure for what I need to accomplish through … Continue reading Stop Controlling the Narrative!
I just completed about 2 weeks worth of letting my winter cold run its course, and I promise you that I put up somewhat of a fight. Over the past few years, I've learned not to be so quick to reach for the quick fix when it comes to applying healing balm for what ails … Continue reading Don’t Hold That Sneeze!
I'm going to start this discourse off on a positive note and say that Week 3 has been a slightly productive week. I've put a tentative schedule together for the writing of the book, which will include 2-hour work days on Sunday through Tuesday and 30-minute work days on the remaining days (except for Saturdays). … Continue reading Learning How to Write
I don't have trouble when it comes to getting written content on a page. My challenge is finding the time to actually write. The title to this post could very easily say something like The Trouble with Time-Management in Writing. Herein lies my predicament. How could I be experiencing a road block so early along … Continue reading The Trouble with Writing
This time of year seems to hit a lot of folks hard in the area of everyday health maintenance. There are so many bacteria and viral antagonists flying around that, to the microscopically-magnified eye, it would appear that we are on the front lines of a highly orchestrated attack from an enemy of which we … Continue reading You’ve Been Briefed
I have to admit that this is not my first "start at writing my first book" rodeo. I've been around the Writer's Block before but didn't officially settle in and take up residence at that point in time. Now, I can firmly say that, with my second attempt, things feel much more homey this time … Continue reading Newly Written Beginnings
As a doting mother, I reserve the right to appreciate the fine arts of my 8-year old up-and-comer and to showcase his creations from time to time. Today, I'm revealing pictures taken at Little Man's, my youngest son's, third-grade art show at his elementary school this past Thursday evening. He was sooooooo excited about the … Continue reading Elementary Art at its Finest
For Degrees of Maternity (DOM), 2019 has been a year for the books and we're only in February. I can say this because of the non-stop action I've experienced as a content creator since entering into a new calendar year. I started my first ever 30-day challenge in early December, which ended with favorable results … Continue reading The Road to Authorship
